This long service award solid gold watch by Marvin Revue was presented to Mr T. Brooks by Nelson Acetates Ltd.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the inscription for long service on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being presented in 1986.
CONDITION
Some people do not like case engravings, but to others they add to a history. We like them, as we know we are not selling new watches so the more history the better. The Marvin Watch company dates all the way back to 1850, so history is on this watch’s side already. The watch hasn’t been worn too much – when it arrived the strap had perished through lack of wear as the leather had dried out, and the movement was seized solid. We have had a new ETA movement fitted, replacing the original ETA unit, and it is now working perfectly. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The case doesn’t have any damage to report, and it has Swiss hallmarks inside the case back showing it 0.375 / 9k Gold. The crown is signed but has lost the gold plating. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour or material if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, which also has the Mr T Brooks name on it, and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
